My friend was very disappointed in his first night there. The food was different then scheduled, loud talking in the hall last night where it should be quiet, call light went unanswered for over 30 minutes. He needed assistance to go to the bathroom. Now I’m calling the administrator to complain.

There’s literally no one working there… so many people have had accidents in their bed because there’s no one to help them use the bathroom. People mad lazy too and it takes forever when you press the button for workers to come there’s only 2 good workers there. Also yall realize most of these good reviews are like 1-3 yrs ago right?? It’s changed💔

I arrived at The Meadows on 2-3-25. I an being discharged tomorrow, 2-28-25. My stay here was beyond exceptional. Every single department was there for me. P.T.,O.T.,nursing staff,housekeeping, management, all departments. Everyone was there for me and my needs. There is not one negative thing I can say about The Meadows. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a facility for long term care or even just for physical therapy. Thank you all so much!

I had brought my pretty well able bodied father here for some extra rehab to get stronger. Within 2 days of staying here he was found unresponsive and was taken to the hospital in the middle of the night and this facility NEVER told our family. We found test results popping up on our phones so we called the hospital and found him there. They never called us even until the next day. We had called them all through the night and they wouldn't answer or when they would, they said they would call back with answers and never did. When I walked in I found them huddled and giggling amongst themselves at the nurse's desk. It's a horrible place. Never bring your loved one to this facility if you care about their well being. You can tell they don't have the compassion and care for their patients or their families.

My sister is a temporary resident there. While visiting with her she told me that most of the staff is very nice and after being in my sister’s room for 3 hours I must say that I agree with my sisters opinion. My sister is in there due to several broken ribs, a bad back and she also has RA. She is confined to a wheelchair. She can be difficult to please at times due to the tremendous pain she lives with and now with broken ribs I can’t imagine the pain she endures everyday. Her sons purchased a recliner for her to help relieve the pressure on her ribs, from sitting slouched over in a wheelchair 18 hours a day, but was told she wasn’t allowed to have the chair there. She cried and cried as the recliner had given her ribs so much relief. I’m extremely disappointed that this facility whose purpose is to help people heal would take this away from her. It was a new leather/ not fabric chair, also in her condition, she could never get out of the chair herself without help. I understand that each facility is bound by rules and regulations, but my goodness that chair was a life saver to her and was told that it had to go. How would y’all feel if this were your elderly mother in pain? Or better yet how would y’all feel if this was you living in constant daily pain and the only thing that gave you relief was taken away from you? This chair, in my opinion was a MUST for her healing. THINK ABOUT IT!!
